What is 4 times 15 percent?

Here we will show you two different yet similar ways of calculating 4 times 15 percent (4 x 15%). The idea is to show you different ways of calculating 4 times 15 percent so you will have a good understanding of the underlying process of multiplying any number with any percent.

We start by converting 15 percent to a decimal number by dividing 15 by 100 and then we multiply that decimal number by 4. Here is the math to illustrate:

15 / 100 = 0.15
4 x 0.15 = 0.6

The reason we divide 15 by 100 above is because 15 percent means per 100. You can actually divide by 100 after you multiply 4 by 15 and get the same answer. Again, here is the math to illustrate:

4 x 15 = 60
60 / 100 = 0.6

The key is to remember is that "percent" in 15 percent means per hundred and you have to adjust for that with problems like this. To summarize, here is 4 times 15 percent with the answer:
